Universal design
Det, at vi er forskellige, og det faktum, at alle mennesker oplever en eller flere funktionsnedsættelser i løbet af deres liv, er kernen i universal design. Begrebet er udviklet af den amerikanske arkitekt og kørestolsbruger Ron Mace i 1990’erne. Trods forskellige teoretiske tilgange og tolkninger er essensen at skabe løsninger, der skaber inklusion ved at integrere menneskers forskelligheder.
Alle mennesker oplever i løbet af et liv skiftende behov og krav til deres omgivelser. Universal design gør op med forestillingen om, at brugere med særlige behov skal have særskilte løsninger. Det værdibaserede designbegreb sigter i stedet efter at skabe løsninger, der som udgangspunkt skal fungere for alle mennesker trods forskellige funktionsevner. Målet er, at alle kan deltage og ingen lades tilbage. Et mål, der også spejles i FNs verdensmål i det gennemgående løfte ”Leave No One Behind”.
